The Avett Brothers is an American folk-rock band that originated in Concord, North Carolina. Two brothers, Seth Avett and Scott Avett, formed the group in 2000 after the breakup of the former rock band, Nemo, adding a third member, Bob Crawford. Subsequently, they have been joined by cellist Joe Kwon. The Avett Brothers combine old-time country, bluegrass, punk, pop melodies, folk, rock and roll, honky tonk and ragtime to produce a sound described by the Washington Post as "post civil-war modern rock", or by other reviewers as "grungegrass".
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is written for piano not guitar, so these chords are all approximate.
Tune every string down a whole step (D B C F A D).
Chord Pattern I:
Load the car and write the note e|-0-----------------0--------0---| B|-0-----------------2--------0---| G|-9-----------------2--------1---| D|-9-----------------2--------2---| A|-7-----------------0--------2---| E|-0-----------------x--------0---|
repeat Chord Pattern I through first three lines of every verse:
Grab your bag and grab your coat e|-0-----------------0--------0---| B|-0-----------------2--------0---| G|-9-----------------2--------1---| D|-9-----------------2--------2---| A|-7-----------------0--------2---| E|-0-----------------x--------0---|
Tell the ones that need to know e|-0-----------------0--------0---| B|-0-----------------2--------0---| G|-9-----------------2--------1---| D|-9-----------------2--------2---| A|-7-----------------0--------2---| E|-0-----------------x--------0---|
Chord Pattern II:
We are headed north e|-4------2------0------| B|-5------4------2------| G|-6------4------2------| D|-6------4------2------| A|-4------2------0------| E|-x------x------x------|
The whole song goes this way, with the small exception that no matter where it appears in the verse, "I and Love and You" is always accompanied by Chord Pattern II. You can alternate using the high E chord (079900) and the standard E (022100) to start off Chord Pattern I. I like using only standard E (022100) in the "Brooklyn" verses.
